Outsourcing Housework Freed Up Precious Time For This Busy Homeowner

Posted 27/11/18

Busy homeowner Michelle holds down parenting, full-time work and studying towards her PhD. She shares with us how she used Builderscrack to outsource her housework so she could focus on the important stuff... How It Started To say Michelle is a driven person is an understatement. Sitting across from a woman that packs so much into her days is inspiring, not only because of that drive but the clever way she has arranged her life to make it possible. She tells me "I’m doing a full-time PhD and I’m doing full-time work, so for me, I have lots to do and absolutely no time. I also have a teenager who’s almost 16, who is extremely social. Every weekend there are at least five to seven friends invited, and they are having a sleepover. I come home, and I'm like, “I left it nice and tidy, what happened?”. Michelle and her son moved into their home three years ago, and with a laugh explains “how things were starting to fall apart and in need of repair”. It wasn't only hard finding the tim

Fuse fixed as one of the RCD switches went off and will not turn back on. 2 double plugs need replacing. 7 light switches are stiff and occasionally buzz or make lights flicker when you turn them on. Possibly 2 down lights may need replacing. As long as powers back on lights etc can be done later if need be. I just need the job done. Sooner the better. I am aware everyone is busy so could take time to get someone. Had booked someone but they never showed up so being reliable would help.
